Sprott Asset Management CEO John Ciampaglia talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the launch of the Sprott Physical Uranium ETC (ISE:SPUT) in partnership with HANetf. Ciampaglia explained that this new product is an extension of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust, a popular investment vehicle that trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange. According to Ciampaglia, the new ETC aims to address a key gap in the market by providing non-institutional European investors with easier access to uranium investment. He noted that uranium plays a crucial role in the global energy transition, as nuclear energy is gaining renewed interest due to its ability to provide baseload power, energy security, and zero greenhouse gas emissions. Ciampaglia also discussed the differences between investing in physical uranium versus uranium mining stocks. He emphasised that physical uranium is often considered a cornerstone investment, while uranium miners offer greater upside potential and operating leverage. Many investors, he said, choose to balance both approaches in their portfolios. Watch the full interview for more insights into uranium investing and the future of nuclear energy.

Canada's corporate governance landscape presents unique features for global board leaders and investors. The provincial regulation of securities, exemplified by bodies like the OSC and AMF, distinguishes it from other markets. Crown corporations, like Canada Post, navigate a dual mandate of commercial viability and public service. Canadian governance also embraces distinct board structures, including the acceptance of dual-class shares, and emphasizes a broader stakeholder model that incorporates environmental, Indigenous, and social factors. The Toronto Stock Exchange actively promotes ESG reporting through resources and training, including specific guidance on climate-related disclosures.ESG Courses at http://www.boardroomeducation.com Main Website www.Globalboardadvisors.com

Tom welcomes back Christopher Grove to the show. Chrisopher is President and Director of Commerce Resources and an expert on the rare earth element market. Despite China's lack of direct involvement in the export halt of germanium, gallium, and antimony to the U.S., it underscores Beijing's dominance in the sector. With the surge in demand for rare earth elements due to technology advancements, particularly permanent magnets for electric vehicles, no new significant producers have emerged since 2011-2012. Prices have reverted to levels last seen then as a result. China's manipulation of input feedstock prices has caused unease and encouraged nations to seek alternative rare earth element sources The US Department of Defense is investing in vertically integrated supply chains, as shown by the Defense Industrial Base Consortium and the Global Partnership Initiative. China's market dominance remains a concern but presents an opportunity for countries to invest in creating alternative sources. Chris discusses the challenges he faced as CEO of Commerce Resources, including high Canadian mining regulations and the repeal of the uptick rule on the Toronto Stock Exchange. This rule change has led to significant losses for resource companies when they release positive news. Grove plans to list Commerce Resources on the Australian stock exchange in late Q1 or early Q2 of 2025 as a potential solution to address this challenge. The discussion discusses the complexities and challenges of mining in Canada and importance of advocacy efforts to relevant government bodies. Commerce Resources is completing an updated preliminary economic assessment for its Ashram project and awaiting responses from grant opportunities in Canada and the United States.

Medicus Pharma (TSX-V:MDCX, NASDAQ:MDCX) CEO and chairman Raza Bokhari speaks with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's listing on Nasdaq, marking a key milestone for the biotechnology firm. Medicus raised $4 million through the IPO to fund its ongoing phase 2 proof-of-concept trial for a promising noninvasive treatment for basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer. The $15 billion market for skin cancer treatments reflects a significant unmet need, and Medicus Pharma aims to address this with a novel combination therapy developed in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. Bokhari emphasized that the treatment could offer a less costly, non-surgical alternative with strong aesthetic benefits. He also shared that since the company's Toronto Stock Exchange listing last year, it has raised over $20 million, underscoring investor interest in innovative, disruptive cancer therapies. As Medicus Pharma seeks alignment with the FDA, Bokhari expressed hopes to expedite the phase 2 trial and potentially convert it to a pivotal trial early in 2025, positioning the company to take the next big step in its development journey. "We believe we have a novel treatment that can cut costs and eliminate the need for surgical intervention," Bokhari stated. The new funds will bolster Medicus Pharma's progress, with patient recruitment already underway. Stay tuned to Proactive's YouTube channel for more updates from Medicus Pharma Ltd.

Adeyinka Adedoja is the founder of WeivSync, based in Toronto, Canada. Her passion to create WeivSync is rooted in her passion for travel and the challenges she faced as an immigrant navigating a new country. Although she started with a background in finance and economics, working in roles at the Toronto Stock Exchange and as a business analyst in a SaaS company, it was only when she moved into product management that she truly felt energized. This role aligned perfectly with her love for problem-solving and innovation, setting the stage for the creation of WeivSync. My personal travel experiences, filled with language barriers, missed connections, and serendipitous moments, inspired WeivSync. I wanted to create something that makes solo travel smoother, safer, and more connected. WeivSync is like having a knowledgeable friend who's always there to help, offering personalized itineraries, real-time translation, and 24/7 assistance. Traveling has given me countless stories, like getting lost in a foreign city and finding a hidden gem or a miscommunication turning into an adventure. My favorite quote, "We're on offense. All the time," reminds me to take initiative and create opportunities. I'm excited to share my journey and the creation of WeivSync on Canada Podcast. Whether you're a seasoned solo traveler or dreaming of your first big adventure, I hope my stories inspire you to explore the world with more confidence and curiosity.

Interview with Andrès Restrepo Isaza, President & CEO of Minero S.A.Recording date: 6th June 2024Mineros S.A is a compelling opportunity for investors seeking a unique combination of gold exposure, income, and value. This established Colombian mining company has been in operation for over 50 years but is newly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, making it a fresh story for many investors.With annual production of 230,000 gold ounces from a mix of alluvial mining in Colombia and underground mining in Nicaragua, Mineros has a strong foundation of diversified, low-cost production. The company's Colombian alluvial mine is a steady cash cow, having maintained a 10+ year mine life for the past 50 years. It generates an impressive 48% EBITDA margin from simple gravity-based gold recovery. The Nicaraguan underground mine, which incorporates ore purchasing from artisanal miners, operates at a 35% EBITDA margin with exploration upside on its large land package.What really sets Mineros apart is its industry-leading dividend. The company has paid a dividend for over 15 years and currently yields around 12%, a rarity in the gold mining sector. This reflects management's unique focus on rewarding shareholders and providing an income component to the investment case. With strong free cash flow generation, Mineros can afford to pay this dividend while still reinvesting in its business.Mineros' strong financial position also enables a patient, value-driven approach to growth. Rather than pursuing growth at any cost, management intends to seek complimentary acquisitions in stable mining jurisdictions that can add 100-150,000 ounces to annual production and increase the company's scale and liquidity. The company is targeting tier-1 jurisdictions in the Americas, with a particular focus on Canada.The goal is to reach a production level of 400-500,000 ounces per year, which management believes will attract greater market attention and support a re-rating of the stock. In the meantime, investors can benefit from the current 12% yield and potential upside as the company executes its plans.Mineros' philosophy and operating approach differentiate it from the typical junior mining company. As President Andre Restrepo explains, "In many ways we're a strange company because we're cautious, we're not in a hurry, we're paying a dividend. We have a dividend yield of 12% so our shareholders can afford to be patient."The combination of established low-cost production, a double-digit dividend yield, a strong balance sheet, and a disciplined growth strategy makes Mineros a unique investment proposition in the gold mining space. For investors seeking gold exposure with an income component and an attractive valuation, Mineros S.A. is a company to watch.View Mineros S.A.'s company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/mineros-saSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Yeah, well, I'll try and make it a short story because I've been in the, in the business quite a while, but I started at a university at Pricewaterhouse, large accounting firm, and I found out very early on that that, that, that really wasn't for me in terms of the job and what I was doing every single day.

Sam has over 20 years of mining industry experience in senior leadership positions where he advised major mining companies, including BHP Billiton, as a management consultant within Ernst & Young's Advisory Services practice, and most recently as Senior Vice President, Corporate Development with Oceana Gold before taking the helm at Matador. He gives an update on the company, the current junior exploration market and what are the enablers and catalysts for the mining industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Matador Mining is a junior exploration company focused on high-grade gold exploration in Newfoundland. The company has a district-scale land package and a strong board of directors with extensive industry experience. The CEO, Sam Pazuki, emphasises the importance of transparency and communication with shareholders in the junior exploration space. The market has been challenging for junior exploration companies, but Matador has secured strong shareholders and raised funds to support its exploration activities. The outlook for Matador Mining includes ongoing exploration activities, a winter drill program, and potential listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. BEST MOMENTS "We've got a district scale land package on the largest Gold structure that's significantly under-explored."  "The market likes news flow. So you really need to set up a program where you're doing work for much of the year as possible."  "We need to do a better job to lower costs. But a big catalyst is easing of those inflationary pressures, easing of the supply chain issues." "We're all adults here. And, you know, our reputations are on the line, our credibility is on the line."
